Keep your team informed: Introducing the Feeds app for Google Chat

We’re excited to introduce the new Feeds app for Google Chat. This app makes it simple for teams to bring important, real-time external updates—such as news, blog posts, and industry research from any Atom or RSS feed—directly into their group conversations and spaces.

The goal is to eliminate the need for context switching to monitor external information sources. By connecting an RSS/Atom feed, new posts are automatically sent to a designated space in Chat, keeping all team members up-to-date in the context of ongoing project discussions.

Key features include:

• Automatic content delivery: New posts from the subscribed feed are delivered directly as messages in Chat.
• Add multiple subscriptions: Users can add and manage multiple feeds using the app settings panel.
• Configurable by space: Subscriptions are managed per-space, and only the user who created a subscription can edit or delete it.

Getting started

• Admins
  • Admins will need to allowlist the Feeds app if their organization’s Marketplace user install setting is set to “Allow users to install and run allowlisted apps from the Marketplace.”
  • To enable the Feeds app for all users in a domain, admins can domain install the Feeds app from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Rollout pace

• This feature is available now.

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers that have enabled Chat apps in their domain, Workspace Individual subscribers, and users with personal Google accounts
